This is VERY contrary to what I have been told.
I am at OKC right now and have 2 weeks left til i go to ATL ATCT along with one other girl in my class. 3 others in my class are going to Charlotte, which is also a 12. 3 of us are CTI and the other 2 are VRA, and we are all excited about it instead of dreading it like some people seem to think about bigger facilities. We didn't get a choice, thats where they put us.
The girl in my class also visited ATL right before she came to OKC city and everyone she talked to about it loved working there and were very excited that both of us would be coming out there in a couple of months. Every instructor at the academy that I ask about ATL says its a great place to work, and you just have to try hard and work at it if you want to succeed. One of these instructors was at ATL for 18 years.
I also talked to the support specialist Colleen something at ATL tower yesterday and asked about some of these stats, and she said they have around 4 or 5 in training right now, all doing well, and a CTI is doing the best.
I just hate coming on this forum and looking at everyone hating on big facilities, and it mainly seems to come from the OTS people. I think I will get out of ATL what I put into it...
The only things I know about higher level facilities is what most people on here say... I hope you'll stick around here (despite some of the negativity about your future facility) and keep us updated on how everything's going at OKC and then when you start at ATL.
